Throughout the season, several of his teammates have considered who deserves the title of “hardest hitter in burnt orange.” Foster is always in the conversation.

Senior nose tackle Chris Nelson, junior safety Brandon Jones, and freshman safety Caden Sterns all invoked Foster’s name when asked who delivers the most crushing blows. Senior defensive end Breckyn Hager called the Angleton High School graduate a “missile.”

So, is the Foster the Longhorn capable of delivering the most crushing hits?

Quarterback J.T. Daniels hit wideout Amon St. Brown on a crossing route, who made the mistake of cutting laterally into Foster’s path. Foster coiled his body and exploded upward into St. Brown, lifting the Trojans receiver off his feet and jarring the ball loose.

Foster was ejected for targeting, but his teammates didn’t seem to mind.

“I hate that he got ejected,” senior cornerback Kris Boyd said. “But pretty much everybody loved it, you could tell from the energy that was in the stands, the crowd and the team. I mean B.J. was even pumped. I loved it. You see his mouthpiece fly out and everything.”

Said Sterns: “Nasty. I've never seen anything like that but I'm not surprised.”

Foster and Sterns represent the future of the Texas secondary. The belief is those two freshmen safeties will restore Texas to its status as “DBU” (Defensive Back University).

“That’s my dog right there,” Foster said of Sterns. “We like Bonnie n’ Clyde. We got a strong bond together. That’s what you need back there, some tight bonds to build up chemistry.”

In Texas’ 48-45 win over Oklahoma, Foster set season highs with six tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, and one pass breakup. Sterns collected seven tackles, bringing his season total to 25.
